Southend Airport to offer free trips (From Echo)
Of course this offer has no real commercial significance and it could be said that any publicity that gets the attention of the airport's target audience is to be applauded. And I don't think LHR and LGW will be adding a discussion on this challenge to the agenda of their next meeting.
But I hope Stobart don't start moaning if, come October, FR decide - 'just for the craic' - to offer a free flight to DUB from STN/LGW/LTN to anyone who has been delayed flying to Ireland from SEN.
Mrs DC has just looked up from her smartphone and spoke - a rare event in itself....... Apparently, it's reached her via Facebook 'friends' that Southend Airport is offering free flights etc.... Perhaps I'm underestimating the power of publicity.
